I was town between delight that Neko was a $2000 clue, and horror at "Necko? Neeko?"

I haven't actually seen it happen, but I remember when I bought a pyrex something or other, the paperwork on it had a crazy amount of warnings about not putting a hot pan on a cold surface or something along those lines. Not so crazy, I suppose?

Got my first yellow squash on Saturday. Lots and lots of tomatoes, way more than I can handle. I'm practically handing them to strangers at this point. It's fantastic. Herbs still going great. Jalepenos never took off, but it was kind of a filler plant I bought anyway. In other garden news, we finally got the enormous…

My many times tried and true perfect breakfast is an omelet from Ernie's in Columbia, MO, with pepper cheese, tomatoes, and sour cream with sourdough toast and strawberry jam. Very nearly the best omelet ever. I did have one slightly better once on a road trip in Encinitas, CA, that had all of that, plus avocado. The…

I was obsessed with that dog. What an awesome grandmother!

I was just skimming some comments, and saw part of yours, including the part about your wife being worried about Li'l Punk, and before it registered with me what your username is, I was wondering why your wife was so worried about one of the people always associated with Justin Bieber.
Super glad he's ok now. Also…

That was a great interview. I don't know that I have ever heard Terry laugh as fully as she did during it. They clearly have excellent chemistry.

Also, I love that when you were feeling lazy and had 2 cups of milk you made polenta. Last week when I was feeling lazy and had 2 cups of milk, my though process was yay! 2 bowls of Lucky Charms!

I don't really know either. I've got a friend who can't get away from it either, no matter what she tries. She's had more luck moving them to containers, but that's not a solution for this season.

That sucks. Dental insurance is no fun at all. Every year I decide if I'm taking the gamble again and not getting it or if I feel like I'm going to need work.

This is all I can think about any time someone mentions oysters:

I recall Supermarket Sweep as amazing. Specifically the sweep portion though. The questions were bo-ring.

If you get a negative, don't be afraid to contact the Council or Mayor. Our town is super old, and a lot of things don't get changed until someone comes to us about it. Urban farming and people owning chickens and bees made a lot of communities have to make changes to their ordinances. Good luck.

Give them a call. I work in muni government, and our animal codes were just redone to include mini pigs, but they still list them as potbellied pigs which is weird. Also, we never disallowed them but someone wouldn't necessarily have known that without contacting us. Also, if you get a micro pig, be nice to people who…

It makes me extra nervous because when I was in high school we had a CO alarm way before they were common and I was home sick with these headaches I'd been getting when ours started going off. It was a real leak, so I am super freaked thinking it's going to get me. I was actually really impressed that the brand of…

I also love that no one is discussing the obvious "most shocking ever. until next week" moment of Toby's house exploding. I have to go back for a rewatch, but was there something when Aria was going into the house to see Jenna that things looked askew? Or at least weird?

I got an excellent new footrest at work (end of the fiscal year, buy whatever you can!!!) and I am loving it. It did come with really weird instructions about how high you should adjust it based on the size of your hand.

I love Mona because she is ridiculous and hilarious. But she is the worst. She tried to kill Hanna, made all the girls do terrible mean things (dancing with Lucas, eating cupcakes, did she out Emily?, etc) and yes, she went to Radley, but basically got off with no backlash. Alison was a bully and preyed on the weak,…

Lucas's chinstrap.

It's so good. And easy.
